Feather ID please :)

[Gaina]

Hi All,

I found this feather on my bedroom floor this evening and scanned it in the hopes you can tell me what it came off. Actual length about 2cm.



Thanks

My guess is a bird

Hello Gaina, I think the feather belongs to a House Sparrow. Gareth

Well if we look at the clues! *puffs on pipe* It was found in your bedroom, where beds are often kept, and you often get pillows on beds. I would say, it's out of your pillow!

........elementary my dear Gaina

Then again as said, it's probably from a Sparrow.

.....or a Harris Hawk!

I only have one feather pillow but they are white feathers .

Hehe that's what I like, a man who thinks very big or very small - no faffing about in the middle!

Maybe this one fell out whilst you were checking them all!

Have you got a feather duvet? Or a pet cat?

Alan, what have you started? .

No we only have dusting cloths now - we used to have a feather one years ago but my old dog err....'remodelled it'. Haha

You'll be pleased to know I have more interesting things to do with my life than checking every single feather in a pillow, so I guess a coloured one could have been in there.

Or a pet cat?

Yes I do have a cat but birds are too much like hard work for him - Geriatric Mice that simply require him to employ power walking rather than a full-on sprint are more his thing.

The feather was right near the window and it was very breezy yesterday afternoon so it's quite possible it blew in.

Like Gareth said, it's probably belongs to a Sparrow as the people who live in front of us have a colony in their garden, but I'll have a mooch around outside later and see if I can find more.
